You know, those not totally significant things that others do that drive you nuts.

For me, it's when people place things on edges of tables and other surfaces. Right on the edge, preferably a part of it not even being on the surface. Like their glass of water or a bottle. Just move it 10cm towards the middle for fucks sake and stop gesticulating wildly. I'm looking at it like

Especially with kids, shit falls from tables way too often, causing unnecessary work to clean up the mess. Now our evil twins can barely reach the surfaces in the kitchen and are just randomly grabbing on to stuff. Don't place your fucking hot coffee on the edge of the surface for them to grab.

People who do this are lazy and ignorant cunts. Weirdly, I've only observed it with females (like my BELOVED wife), haven't seen a dude who does it.

So what makes you feel alive again?
 
- People walking in wide large groups on sidewalks shutting it off from others to walk past, especially those fuckers that walk so fucking slowly (to be honest most fuckers walk way to slow).
- People standing still in escalators...they're stairs use them as such, if you want to just stand go to an elevator.
- People stopping in traffic with the emergency lights on to drop off or pick up someone and taking their sweet ass time (having a friendly chat, exchanging numbers, ect ect).
- People parking or stopping over a zebra crossing.
- People parking on a sidewalk so deeply that you have to walk single file to pass (meaning you have to wait against oncoming foot traffic), by rights I should just walk over their car in that case, or key it at the very least, would be the only decent thing.
- People who steal our parking which is clearly marked and you even have to remove a private parking sign we have out of the space, excusing it "i only had to do this, I only needed it for 30 minutes, ect", bitch its private property, we had the sign there for a reason, if we now take someone else space to park our car we might get ticketed or toed.
- People who work for any sort of bureaucratic office that have completely assenine rules and nit-picks that causes us to have to redo a bunch of paperwork (I once got denied a licence cause my beard didn't look the same asa in my passport photo).
- Those same people fucking just leaving in the middle of the workday to take care of a personal arrend (and not having others cover for them, just closing the office down while it's supposed to be open), or walking around joking with their collegues taking their sweet ass time, or taking personal calls laughing and joking with a friend IN FRONT OF US while we're waiting to get shit done so we ourselves can return to our jobs.
- My wife insisting on me coming with her when she wants to go shopping, only to not have a list or idea of what she wants from where, ending up just wasteing a bunch of time "browsing" and getting mad at me cause I have the audacity to rush her cause I actually don't enjoy spending my early 30s inside of various clothing stores.
- This is me just being a cunt, but people who signal a turn that is just following the main/primary road thus not actually a change in driving direction or lanes. It doesn't matter at all, it doesn't confuse me or anything, it's just one of those things; like calling it Chai Tea.

After entering the office/coming home/whatever.... people instantly talking to me and demanding full attention. Obviously this is hard to tolerate with insufferable coworkers, but I also can't stand gf/parents/friends doing this. Just let me put my stuff on the table, then we can talk.

My wife does it all the time. She's not even saying hello or how are you, I'm literally opening the door and the waterfall of words starts dropping.

This is also true for me, it's especially annoying with phonecalls. I'll pick up the phone from my wife and it will be 2-3 minutes before I even get a word in. Like damn, lets address one thing at a time Okey?
 
The people who back into spots in their car every single time. I see it so often with people who spent a ton of extra time to back into their parking spot thinking they've somehow saved themselves time because they can just drive out later. And they always seem to back too far in so the back of their car hangs way over the sidewalk.

I even saw someone doing this at one of those fast food places that have the angled lines painted in their lot. So if you are driving the correct way, you just turn into the parking spot and your car is nicely angled and easy to get out. This fucking guy had to do the most awkward maneuver of all time to try to back into one of these angled spots and held up a line of cars all because he's retarded and thinks backing into spots saves him time.

People who double park their cars. Or rev their car engines non stop. We get it show off.

This. As an extension of this in a professional setting: People who call with some complicated issue and don't ask first "Do you have a couple minutes to go over something?" They just start rambling like I was just doing nothing and have been awaiting their call with baited breath.

Fuck off.
 
Weirdly enough, I cannot stand it when people overly enjoy their to go coffee or their tea out of a thermo can in a metro train.

You know, when they act like it's a shitty commercial and they are all like "ooh, that feels so good" just because they are drinking lame shit to go coffee.

I wanna smack their fucking faces.

I know, it's strange.

Yeah this is pretty bad. Also doesn't help when the boss does this this himself and thereby facilitates a climate were this happens all the time.
 
Came here expecting to see at least one post complaining about the weird stuff people do with their feet when sitting around.

D-Pad, you've disappointed me.

It really drives my blood pressure up when people sit around wiggling their feet or twitching their toes when it's within my peripheral vision. I will do just about anything I can to put out of my line of sight, but if I can't... I just can't tolerate it. It's as bad as loud bass coming from somewhere else. I can't ignore it. I will eventually just get up and walk around just to give my brain a break. lol
 
Hmm, I'd have to say people that take a bite of food right before they start talking. It's like, put the fucking apple down if you're about to say something. You can eat it when you're done saying your piece. DO NOT take a bite, then talk at me like some ill-mannered cunt or an asshole in a movie.

I have never in my life had someone suggest this to me. And, the few times I've observed someone do this, everyone, me included, stared at them like they were a nutjob. Lol Where do you live that it is the norm for people to walk up/down escalators? I am honestly curious.

My wife does this. She has a very anxious/nervous manner and can't sit still, so she's constantly bouncing/twitching/waving a foot. I'll admit, it drives me a little crazy sometimes. The way our furniture is positioned, tho, it's easy enough for me to block her from view by changing my position.

While watching a movie together, not really paying attention because of mobile phone addiction, but then asking me all the time

- wait who is this?
- wasn't that the other guy?
- is he evil?
- what are they doing now?
- why are they doing that?
...

To the point that I myself have trouble following the plot because I'm just answering dumb questions.

Like, watch the movie or don't. Pick one of these two options!

Norway, Ireland, Romania. In all places people frequently just stand around in an escalator. To your point It's not that it's the norm to walk up them, it's that it should be. People are slow inefficient fucks who make me waste my time standing around when you can save half the time by walking up it. I get that if you have a kid or are handicapped in some way you'd stand. But when I see a fit 20 something man standing in the middle of th escalator it annoys me to so much.

Huh, interesting. Tbh, the few times I've tried walking up an escalator I got vertigo. But then, I'm also the guy who usually stumbles when stepping on/off them, too.

I had not considered peopl could possibly get virtigo from it, puts things a bit more into perspective. Probably I'm just grumpy about it cause most of the time I encounter one I'm either at an Airport or Mall, which I also consider pits of annoying time wasteing (and these days mask-wearing) hell :p. You might be able to tell I have a problem with waiting and patience 😂. I must remember to consider that next time I start to get annoyed.

Ha, I feel you. This is how it goes for me -- I get impatient with someone or something, and usually for good reason, but every so often I find out after the fact that there was a valid reason for it. And then I just feel like a douche bag. LOL

I can't sanction this kind of buffoonery. That's what Tommy Lee Jones said to Jim Carrey when they worked together on the Batman movie. And that's how I feel about someone who has the attention span of a goldfish ruining a movie for me.

If someone wanted me to rewind not because of a kettle or loud noise, but because they were on instagram, I wouldn't rewind.

Well I also enjoy her enjoying the show/movie as well, I like sharing that experience and talking about it ect. But her attention span isn't quite as good as mine anda mobile phones have destroyed it even further. She's working on it though :)
